ARCOTEL Onyx Hamburg

Visit rare artifacts from the history of the Reeperbahn, scattered throughout the district, with the creators of the "Museum without Walls." St. Pauli you can touch. This tour is part of the "Places of Things" project and an "exhibition tour" through the "Museum without Walls." It leads to historic objects in unusual places. In bars and garages, at the hairdresser's, or in front of "red-light" shop windows; there are things to discover everywhere that tell a story – and this guided tour brings them to life: A piece of cutlery bridges the gap to the "Golden Twenties," a tea set to a famous prostitute. Germany's most famous gas station sign becomes a "panoramic window" into Hamburg's urban planning from the 1940s to the present, and ten centimeters of wood become witnesses to a musical world career. The tour begins with a (non-alcoholic) refreshment at the 1a Bar in the ARCOTEL Onyx – precisely where the entertainment temple "Trichter" marked the entrance to the Reeperbahn for around 130 years. On display: an original Höpfner bass from Paul McCartney and other Beatles memorabilia, original erotic billboards by Kiez artist Erwin Ross, who also painted the entrance scene at the "Zur Ritze" club, the Mona Lisa of the Reeperbahn – "DOMENICA," the painting by Donna Sani Sue, an original painting by Klaus Barkowsky, known as the pimp of the century, "Der Schöne Klaus."
